It's theft I suppose at the end of the day. Dunno how they're going to counter them,maybe encryption or something. There's a lad from Wexford in court apparently he was making nearly half a million a year for his services. Even a basic Sky sub has gotten pricey in fairness.

If everything was under one package, ie music in Spotify, I'd happily pay for a streaming service. There's just too many now to keep up

totally agree , it is absolutely theft. Sky charges €200 p.m for their full package. The very definition of theft.
